The object ofmy said invention is to pro-- vide a register table for theuse of pressmen in makin up and adjusting pa forms in printing oilices,by the use of w ich the type may be adjusted in each form and theseveral page forms arranged in the printing form so that the 'rinting oneach page will be--in perfect alinement with that of the other pages andthe lines on opposite sides of the sheet register perfectly with eachother, and one color form register with other 2 color'forms so-that the'several colors will properly .register, and blendfand it consists invarious improvements in the details of construction -rand. arrangementof parts,

' whereby a very efiicient' table for such purpose is rovided, all'asfwill be hereinafter 'more in ly'described and claimed.

Referring .to the accompanying drawings which are made 9. art hereof andon which similar-reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure.lis a top or plan iew of a pressmans re 'ster table ofmy improvedconstructiom. ig. 2 aside elevation of the same, Fig. 3 an endelevation, and Fig. 4a detail section on the dotted lines-4 in Fig.3. s

In said drawings the portions marked A represent the frame, and C theelectric lights. .The frame A consists, in the-main, of a box-likestructure preferably! composed 40 of wooden sides with a bottom a and atog frame consisting of side rails a and a en rails a and a anda centralcross rail a. Between the central cross rails a and each end rail aremounted plate glass panels A which serve as the main top of the table.This box-like structure is supported on legs afl preferably ,of angleiron, which embrace the corners of the box and are bolted thereto bybolts a extending through the angles of v said legs and the side piecesof the box, thus securing the box rigidly together and mak ing thestructure rigid and durable. Doors a. hinged at their bottom edges toswing downwardly are mounted in the front Of-l the box to giveconvenient access-to the 1nterior, for the purpose of placing andaflusting the electric lamps. Said lamps C are preferably incandescentelectric bulbs=of ordinary construction mounted in sockets se cured tothe bottom a of the box, electrically wired and connected with a powercurrent supply wire in the ordinary or anyap roved form. Said lamps arecontrolled y an ordinary, or any approved, form of switch,

such'as the switch 8 of the push-button type shown, by which the currentmay be turned. 'on and ofi in the usual way. In the ends of said box areformed openings a for ven-. tilation. e L

In use, the table being fitted up and ar-' rangfzd'as shown in Figs. 1-and 2, the pressman places a proof of the printed form,'orforms over theglass top on one side or the;

other of the table, securing it on saiditop by thumb tacks which may beinserted in the rails a, a and a, and by manipulating the pages, is ableto determine the adjustment 'uecgssary to secure a correct alinementand.

registry between the lines of thevarious pa es and the lines on theopposite sides of heisame sheet and also the proper" adjustent to securethe relative position of difierent color forms necessary to secure thecor-. rect blending of the colors in color printing.

The top rails of the box are preferably re- -movable,-as indicated, sothat after thy are used until their surfaces'become non-efiective tohold the thumb tacks by reason of the numerous perforations therein theymay be removed and others substituted, 'as will be readily understood.
